What colour do you have...  and what colour do you want to end up with?

[Night Rider]

I have a red and need it to be black.

Grant is that you?


You cant kill a shotgun with dye that would be scriledge. Try and trade it first for a black. I'm someone on here will help out the cause

Shotguns dye nicely. I've done one.

I've dyed a few now ... the SGII takes the black dye really well

I could be interested in trading it for a original/true Black kashimax Aero (in the packet)?

It's a 1st Generation Shotgun II seat with no stripes dated 5 82. I don't think these were made long at all before they changed to the striped seats. It has no gold left on the sides but the embosing is clear and sharp 'Shot Gun II tm' . It says Ariake, aero, Jaguar 7378, Japan on the bottom. The rails have some seat guts wear. The back of the saddle has a little wear where the bike has been upsidown, I would be willing to polish these out if anyone wanted to swap. I can also re-gold the lettering.

Ideally I want a blue version but would consider a black.
